I’m going out on a limb here… I’m not watching the match video… I’m just making an assumption.

The bumper attachments were solid, but the climb was SOFAST!, that despite the bumpers being relatively low weight, their inertia caused them to be left behind.

Am I right?

No, I wish our climb was “SOFAST!”(It may be “SOFAST!” at Houston )

Our Robot took a lot of damage during eliminations at SVR. In that match our floor pickup was damaged and our bumper mounts broke. We ended up having to ziptie and tape our bumpers on for the rest of elims. We did repair the floor pickup but in Semis 2 Match 2 it was completely destroyed and unusable even at LVR the next weekend.

We are working on a stronger floor pickup and it will be on at Houston.

Are you guys still working out of the mid peninsular TechShop?

Guess the bumper got tired of getting slammed.

Now that the San Jose Techshop is open again the team will be meeting there. It is a closer location for most of our members.
